[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]God. I see so many "brilliant" amd highly educated people in this town that simply can't handle real life or excel at a job. I'm a lawyer and interview and hire many people that fit this profile. After years of figuring out that many young lawyers fitting this profile simply can't hack the work and rarely are the ones to excel, I stopped hiring the most "berilliant."[/quote]

So who do you hire? And how do you justify it?[/quote]

I will now hire someone that may not have the highest IQ or graduated from top IVY, but is a hard worker, knows how to hit the ground running, doesn't get upset by the slightest setback, and knows how to work hard for what the want.  Basically the opposite of OP's wife.  Yes, I sound like a jerk, but it's the truth.  I see way to many top graduates who somehow feel entitled to the dream job, who have absolutely no idea what it takes to excel in the real real world and simply can't believe they the they aren't snatched on the spot.  The best thing OP can do for his wife is in fact to take off the kid gloves and tell DW to grow a pair.  As I mentioned, this town is full of over-educated academics.  If she wants to get a job she needs to show some real character traits that separate her from the rest.  [/quote]
